What saccade test is good for baseline in sports/concussions
KD
Describe KD test
First pt looks at numbers connected by solid lines. Horizontal
Then pt looks at numbers with no connected lines. A little harder. Horizontal.
Then pt looks at numbers with no connected lines and squished together.
How to grade KD tests
Check average time and average errors by age for test 1, 2, and 3. Then find the Z score and compare to percentile rank table.
How to calculate Z score
Actual-mean
__________
Standard deviation
What happens if the child’s time on the KD test is greater than the mean?
Then use the negative Z score when looking at the percentile rank table
What happens if the child’s time on the KD test is less than the mean?
Use positive Z score when looking at the percentile rank table
DEM test what does it look like
A and B are vertical
C is horizontal and squished.
How to score DEM
Convert these to Z scores:
total vertical time. Add A and B together
Horizontal time (adjusted for omissions and additions)
Errors
Ratio of horizontal adjusted time/vertical
Compare time to the age based table.
Ages that can do DEM
6-14
How to calculate horizontal time adjusted
Adjusted time= time x 80/80 - omissions + add
80 is the amount of numbers in test
time is how long it took child to read.
How to calculate ratio for DEM
Adjusted horizontal/vertical
Type 1 DEM
Vertical:
Horizontal:
Ratio:
Normal
Normal
Normal
Results: Normal
Type II DEM
Vertical:
Horizontal:
Ratio:
Normal
High- slower than avg
Abnormal- high
Result: Ocular motor disfunction.
Type III DEM
Vertical:
Horizontal:
Ratio:
High
High
Normal
Result: RAN problem. Rapid automatic naming.
Type IV DEM
Vertical:
Horizontal:
Ratio:
High
High
Abnormal
OMD/RAN problem

What is the readalyzer
Computer program that records eye movements while pt reads passage. Comprehension is tested. Compares variables to grade level norms.
What does the reanalyzer show
Fixation Regressions Fixation duration Reading rate Grade level Correct comprehensive answers
Right eye test
Eye tracking without goggles. Readout of saccades and pursuits. Diagnostic and therapeutic.
